What is Touch?

Touch Rugby or TOUCH, as it is known, is a minimal contact sport that is played worldwide by men, women and children of all ages. The game emphasizes running, agility and ball handling skills such as passing and catching.
Looking something similar to Rugby, without the tackling, scrumming, kicking and the like, the aim of the game is to score tries. Played on a flat surface, half the size of a conventional sports field, Touch rugby is “The Game taking the World by Storm ”.
Although played to a wider extent on a social level, there are now burgeoning commercial leagues in South Africa and England. There are also regular school competitions and development clinics spreading the Touch gospel to everyone.
The official governing body of the sport is known as the Federation of International TOUCH.

History of In 2 Touch

In 2 Touch was founded in the summer of 1995 in South Africa when the opportunity to start a small touch rugby league in Johannesburg materialised. Since that date, the In 2 Touch brand has expanded throughout South Africa and today schools, universities and corporate touch rugby events and leagues have become an institution, thanks to the hard-working and talented In 2 Touch Staff.
In 2003, In 2 Touch made the strategic decision to launch its business in the United Kingdom and to date has achieved staggering results in a Country with such potential for the sport of touch rugby.

The Future

As the gospel of Rugby, in all its forms, spreads around the world, In 2 Touch aims to be at the threshold of promoting the sport of Touch Rugby.
As the largest promoter of the sport in South Africa and the UK, into Touch has set it sights on Dubai - watch this space.
In 2 Touch embraces dynamic and motivated people who would like to start and promote the sport of touch rugby under our banner. We have the necessary infrastructure to support existing leagues and the experience to launch new ones.

In 2 Softball

From its experiences in London, where In 2 Touch was continually fighting it out with Softball for field space, we decided to launch In 2 Softball. Catering purely for the social and mixed corporate sector we are hoping that this venture might become at least as successful as In 2 Touch.
